Becoming more climate resilient is the goal behind Antigua Guatemala’s plan to cut emissions 47% by the year 2044 compared to 2016 levels.

As one step on the way, it’s planting 112,000 trees throughout the city to improve air quality and transform urban green spaces into attractive parks and gardens.

WHY WE LOVE CITIES

Over half the world’s population now live in cities, and they generate over 70% of our climate footprint. But cities also offer an immense opportunity to create better places to live while contributing to a healthier planet in the process. Through better transport, green buildings, harnessing the power of nature, wasting less and loving more, cities can lead the way to a climate-friendly future.
